Tow bar? Dolly ?or enclosed trailer?

We have a 40 ' Fleetwood and a 20' enclosed trailer that we load a little car and some motorcycles etc into but it presents a problem because you have to find special places to pArk or you have to pay extra to drop the trailer and the fuel economy is poor.
We have a larger car , a ford fusion and a 1/2 ton 4 door pick up truck 4wd ,both automatics.
I am wondering if I would be better off with a tow bar or a dolly instead and forget the motorcycles.
Any thoughts?

    I would agree with the tow bar and forget the motorcycles, or I have seen a motorcycle carrier on the back of the motor home with a tow car also. You could take one that way and still have the tow car.
    We have towed a Pontiac Sunfire for years. Automatic, four wheels down and we would never go anywhere without it following behind. It does not effect mileage when towing at all.
